The people who end up in the ditch are the ones hamfisting the wheel and slamming on the brakes at the worst possible moment.
Oh please, no dashcam footage, let's not turn this into /r/Calgary.  Way too many people jump at the chance to post what amounts to "another day in traffic". |
At least these hamfisters are protecting the rest of us by swapping to winters (I kid..).
I'll say the exception is regular highway driving. You get caught in a blizzard out there, you need the best tires possible under your vehicle because of those high speeds in remote areas that wont see a plow or gravel/salting. At least with regulat in-city driving you should be able to maintain control of your vehicle traveling at speeds of 30-60 easily with controlled movements & braking and allowance of a gap.
